Lebowski-so you think it's okay for us as taxpayers to bail out basically the UAW? Look - I fault both the Big 3 and the UAW for this mess. But the UAW and it's workers need to realize that not one company out there can sustain what the Big 3 have to sustain with this agreement.

Did anyone bail out the steel mills when they were going down?? Is anyone bailing out Cicuit City? Steve and Barry's? The list goes on and on.

And actually I am one of the fortunate (just not in the UAW). I have a career that I am happy to be in and I get paid well doing it because I'm good at it.

Note that most (if not all) of the $25 billion 'loan' to the Big 3 will go to the UAW! Not for day-to-day operations, but to the retirees of the UAW! Here's a link to the article:http://www.thestreet.com/story/104490...

I for one am sick and tired of people thinking that they should have pensions and fully-paid benefits for the rest of their lives. If you owned a business and I worked for you for 30 years - you paid me right?? Then why do you still have to pay me until I live to be 90?? In reality, you could collect more in retirement then when you worked!
